I’ve done the searches for this topic and didn’t find help. So here goes.
Today my buddy was over with his son to work on their pine car derby entry. When using the drill press it became clear that mine has a lot of runout. Even with a very straight bit we get a lot of wobble. I suspect I need to take the chuck off clean any debri...

Anyone ever used one of these tops from Grizzly?
I am thinking of using one of these tops as the top for an assembly table in my shop, and to replace the extension table in my table saw.
Do you think they’d stay flat? Any other concerns or comments? What about better sources?

Last night I glued up a lot of 3/4” sticks of poplar to make 1 1/2×1 1/2 post for doll beds.

In my home shop, I really need to keep air hoses and exension cords tidy. There are tons of retractable systems out there, but some can be really cruddy. I am hoping to get some recommendations for good ones. I prefer the really flexible lightweight airhose to the heavy rubber stuff.

Today, after being inspired by woodworking podcasts and folks like you, I decided that I needed to tune up my Powermatic 66. I have owned it at least 6 years, and I’ve NEVER cleaned the inside or lubed it. I know… bad bad boy.
So today I removed the fence, back rail, fence tube, fence tube rail, extension table (the black powermat...

I’ve been looking online, and can’t find some things I really want.
A great rail/stile/raised panel bit set (I want the raised panel set to cut the relief in the back just like on the wood whisperer. 1/2 inch shank, horizontal raised panel bit.
A great aftermarket splitter for my model powermatic 66
